The early game in EA FC 25 has both cheap and expensive Squad Building Challenges on offer. If you’re looking for a quick and easy one to get you a decent pack in Ultimate Team, you should look into completing the Early Access Challenge 2 SBC.
If you haven’t thrown all your players at the League and Nation Hybrid SBC in EA FC 25, you can pick up 11 players and submit them for the much cheaper Early Access Challenge 2. As its name suggests, this SBC is part of the EA FC 25 early access promotional content. Due to its exclusivity, it will be available for a very short time—so you’ll have to be fast to make the most of it.
Early Access Challenge 2 SBC rewards and requirements
You will receive one Prime Gold Players pack if you complete the SBC by Sept. 27. Only one squad is necessary to do so, and it has to meet the following requirements:
- Players from max. two nations
- Max. five players from the same league
- Max. four players from the same team
- Min. one Rare player
- Min. 75 OVR squad rating
- Min. 31 Chemistry
Cheapest solution for the Early Access Challenge 2 SBC in EA FC 25
The one severe limitation here are the nations, so we must work around that first and foremost. Scout your Club and see if you have one, or ideally two, prevalent nationalities. You will need either a few players in the high 70s that you can then match with Silver and even Bronze cards, or a balanced roster hovering around the 75 mark.
If you can’t build the squad with what’s currently present in your Club, the cheapest solution for the Early Access Challenge 2 SBC is to fill six slots with Gold cards around 76-77 OVR and match them with Silvers that can be easily obtained for 250-300 coins each. Total value should fall between 5,000 and 6,000 coins. Building the necessary Chemistry can be a challenge even with just two nations, so pay close attention or you might waste coins.
Early access is nearly over and this will likely be the last SBC exclusive to those who pre-ordered EA FC 25. It is the cheapest currently active SBC, and overall a nice change of pace following the relatively expensive Hybrid challenges that would be out of reach for most players.
